Audemars Piguet

I like these updates. New size at 38 mm. New calibre all functions can be adjusted with the crown. *pic from AP. Also avaiable in pink gold. ...  

Or perhaps the Skeletonized 25829 for you? The crown on the new one looks bigger, which should be easier to wind. But I'll keep my 25820, still one of my favourite after all these years. ...

Fits perfectly on my wrist: ...  

And except for the BMG - same movement - would even argue the vintage models are more finely finished! Thx for sharing

The week indicator was interesting but unnecessary. And finally a piece in 38mm with a beautiful dial! Peter

That said, I think the bezel looks a bit too wide compared to the dial and 38mm case size. I'd have to see it in person to confirm. Cheers, John

Thanks, John. You brought up a good point about the wide bezel.

...a totally useless indicator for me.

But the week indicator could be useful to some...

Is the movement based on or the same as the CODE they came out with that has everything adjustable from the dial like this? I seem to remember that was the first AP that could do this.

although this one here has less parts: 413 vs 423. The lastest 41 mm Royal Oak QP has it as well.

I struggle enough already sometimes with date only crowns.

Will have to read the manual... But likely 3 positions crown, clockwise and counter-clockwise adjustments.

The Royal Oak covers every interger from 33 mm to 42 mm (except 40 mm I think), plus other outside of this range over the years.

Wears extremely well. I'm used to 41mm but this 38mm felt incredibly well proportioned and thinner than the chrono of the same size, yet a little thicker than the vintage 39mm models. Love the bright blue - as it's not used in too many models. Cheers Pete...  

Thanks for sharing, Peter. Interesting that it has the stylized script signature - probably 150 pcs of these for the brand's 150 anniversary.

Definitely for the 150th. I think it adds a nicely refined vintage look! Peter
